Considerable money has been invested in Clinton’s candidacy but word from Democratic insiders is that many of her supporters (current and former) are hoping she will get the message and choose to withdraw. A sizable number of Democrats now see Hillary as the albatross around the Party’s neck. This would not be the first time a likely Democratic Presidential nominees self-destructed. The “Dean Scream” (though helped along by sound technicians) ended the likelihood of a Howard Dean Presidency and the lies and attempts by John Edwards’ to hide his love child with Reille Hunter while his wife was dying of cancer finished his Presidential chances as well.

One of the top Democratic leaders privately spoke with a Justice Gazette writer earlier this evening and stated, “If Hillary does manage to get the nomination, this won’t go away. The Republicans will bring it up again and again, and the Democratic Party will lose the general election.”
